Once again, one of Ripple’s payment solutions xCurrent would be put to the test as Mitsubishi Corporation, Standard Chartered and Bank of Ayudhya (Krungsri) jointly announced a pilot test payment between Singapore and Thailand.

Production volume has been growing on the RippleNet at an exponential rate, and getting this would mark a major milestone for Ripple. The goal of this pilot is to demonstrate the high speed – cross border payments between banks using Ripple.

Mitsubishi Corporation and Standard Chartered are both house hold names which possess mammoth liquidity. If these multinationals turn to Ripple after a successful pilot test, it could change the course of Ripple for the better.
